Following in Ikkyu-san's footsteps at Kinkakuji Temple

Kinkakuji Temple, which is known to Thais as the Golden Temple, is the reason why most people call it the Golden Temple because the main building of this temple is a bright golden color standing out in the middle of the water. When looking at the reflection, it becomes an equally beautiful image. It is so famous that it has become another symbol of tourist attractions in Kyoto. In fact, there is another name that is known to locals, which is “Rokuon-ji Temple”, which means Deer Garden Temple. Because of its beautiful and valuable architecture, it was registered as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1994.
